Thanks a lot Ed.
I often encounter the following OCR mistake: "equi/ibration"
instead of
"equilibration".
The following line does not work ("equi/ibration" is not found)
set TheText to my SearchReplace(TheText, "equi/ibration",
"equilibration")
There's nothing about this handler call that would cause it to fail,
so the
problem may be in the handler itself. Can you post the SearchReplace
handler
that generates the error?
Here it is
--
set TheText to the clipboard
set TheText to my SearchReplace(TheText, "eqUI/l", "equili")
-- Blah... Blah... (other SearchReplace operations)
set the clipboard to TheText
on SearchReplace(mainString, searchString, replaceString)
set olddelis to AppleScript's text item delimiters
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to (searchString)
set theList to (every text item of mainString)
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to (replaceString)
set theString to theList as string
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to olddelis
return theString
end SearchReplace

Unless, is it possible that your OCR is returning a slash / rather
than a
backslash \ ?
A slash is an appleScript escape character and may be causing
problems.
The other SearchReplace operations do perform perfectly.
I do not think so, but I will pay attention next time.
